Modern Jack Straw in perspective |
How do you rank this Jack Straw by Furthur in comparison to various Dead versions?
http://youtu.be/8S-USLEW078I think it's excellent thanks in large part to Chimenti and certainly superior to lots latter-era Dead versions. Am I off base?

Re: Modern Jack Straw in perspective |
i agree that Chimenti does play a huge role in Furthurs success as he has elevated his role intensely much the way Brent grew into his.... Phil and Bob sound real good on that clip and they are bringing out the best of John of late as he seems a bit more comfortable in trying to PHIL big shoes!!!

Re: Modern Jack Straw in perspective |
Dangerous waters comparing Furthur to The Grateful Dead. But why not? Anyone upset by the idea is taking it all at least a little too seriously.
Furthur played the best Jack Straw I've ever
seen 9/24/11 in Eugene (a close personal 2nd best to see was Deer Creek
6-6-91).
Listen to the Furthur version with headphones on and eyes closed, thinking about Europe '72 if you dare.

The 9/24/11 one is MUCH better.

That's a great version. Definitely better than some GD Jack Straws I've heard. Hey strat, this one is certainly not lacking in verve!

Re: Modern Jack Straw in perspective |
I guess I agree it is qualitatively better, but it's sort of a tough call. I like the *sound* of GD Jack Straw better. This is pleasant, but it's still not the GD. I mean, I'd take a poor GD Jack Straw over a good Furthur one.
We seem to be reaching a vague consensus that Furthur is better than very-late-era GD.

not even close to the personality or the verve of a good Jack Straw by the GD...

Re: Modern Jack Straw in perspective |
That one doesn't do much for me. Couldn't possibly compare to GD. (I don't know about lattter era, which I thankfully didn't see - latter era, that is, defined the conventional way, not referring to WT's definition of latter day as anything past 1970).

Re: Modern Jack Straw in perspective |
I did recently see Weir with Hornsby and Branford play a super tight Jack Straw at All Good Festival. Interestingly, it was at the same venue that the GD played one of my favorite Jack Straws ever (summer 93, into Foolish Heart). Ive heard some other good ones from the Other Ones and Furthur. Nevertheless, they can't compare to any version with Garcia ripping into the second solo and rocking it.
